How often do you hear stories on the radio or see them on the news of the black and missing? You don’t have to think too hard, the truth is, not often at all. I’ve been a huge fan and supporter of The Black and Missing Foundation, Inc. since BCG began nearly five years ago. This weekend the foundation is hosting it’s annual Hope Without Boundaries 5K Run and Walk in the DMV at the National Harbor. The ‘Hope Without Boundaries’ 5K Walk/Run is a fundraiser for Black & Missing Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring awareness to missing persons of color; provide vital resources and tools to missing person’s families and friends and to educate the minority community on personal safety. Proceeds from the event will go towards: funding for families of the missing, flyer distribution, financial support, victim recovery, and burial service assistance.
Designed to bring awareness to missing persons of color and benefit the Black & Missing Foundation, Inc., ‘Hope Without Boundaries’ is an inspiring, family-friendly 5K Run/Walk held on Saturday, June 4, 2016 at the National Harbor in Maryland. The race course takes runners and walkers along the beautiful waterfront of the Potomac River and across the Woodrow Wilson bridge for stunning scenic views.
Registration is $45 for adults and $35 for children, see the race day schedule below. For more details and to register visit www.hwb5k.org!
